Discovering Antarctica

The importance of Polar Science

Polar science is hugely important to help us to understand how the Earth
works. During International Polar Year 2007-08, 50,000 participants
from over 60 countries studied key issues such as weather and
climate and the impact on human societies.

In pairs, work out which areas of research you
think are the most important. Read and understand the impacts before deciding in which order to rank
them. Print your decisions and compare your group’s ideas with
others.
